Bangladesh performance more abysmal than Pakistan as it has won only game in the tournamnet having two points table after playing its six matches.
Fakhar Zaman is fully fit, and given Imam-ul-Haq’s struggles could find himself presented another opportunity. Shadab Khan could not bowl against South Africa owing to concussion, and is not expected to be fit enough to play, giving Usama Mir another opportunity. Mohammad Nawaz’s troubles with the ball means a batting allrounder in Salman Ali Agha will replace him.

Pakistan: 1 Abdullah Shafique, 2 Imam-ul-Haq/Fakhar Zaman, 3 Babar Azam (capt), 4 Mohammad Rizwan (wk), 5 Saud Shakeel, 6 Iftikhar Ahmed, 7 Salman Ali Agha, 8 Usama Mir, 9 Mohammad Wasim/Hasan Ali, 10 Shaheen Shah Afridi, 11 Haris Rauf.
